Georgian modern art named among world’s best 2015 exhibitions
Three of the international contemporary art exhibitions that
featured Georgian artists over the past year have been named among top 15 artistic
occasions by an influential forum of art and culture.
The community art forum Hyperallergic named the best
creative displays of 2015 that included exhibitions across the world from the Middle East to United
Kingdom.
In the list were the biennial exhibitions in Kyiv, Istanbul and Venice that all
featured works by Georgian creators, with the Italian event displaying the
project Crawling Border by seven
contemporary artists starting in May.
